Discussion Topics

ACADEMIC POLICIES

• If you miss an exam, your lowest test grade will count twice. If you miss more than one exam, those exams will be given a grade of zero.

• The comprehensive final exam is mandatory. All students must take the exam on the scheduled date and time, and failure to do so will result in a “0” for the final exam.

• Every student MUST have a copy of the required textbooks by the second week of class. The student will still be responsible for any assignments given. Failure to have a text may result in being dropped from the class.

• Student IDs are required on the first exam. IDs must be visible on your desk before the exam is administered—no ID, no exam.

Attendance Policy

• Poor attendance is a leading reason for termination from a job in all areas of employment. With this factor in mind, the instructor monitors student attendance daily. In addition, attendance on a regular basis is necessary for proper skill development.

• If you are not in class when the instructor takes attendance, you are considered absent.

• The instructor reserves the right to drop any student missing more than two weeks of class (6 MWF classes, 4 TR classes).

• Instructor will accept late work with a 30-point penalty. The late work must be turned in the next class meeting or will not be graded.

• Quizzes may be given at the beginning of the class period. Students coming in to class late will not be allowed to take the quiz. A grade of zero will be recorded for the quiz.

• You are responsible for completing all assigned homework and for being prepared for each class meeting. This applies even if you were absent for the previous class meeting.
